afternoon...
... High surf advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening...
A high surf advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening. A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 1 PM
EST this afternoon.
Strong low pressure will move slowly northeast along the coast
today. This will produce strong northeast winds of 25 to 35 mph
this morning... with winds becoming north and decreasing to 20 mph
by this afternoon. The strong winds will increase water levels
over the southern Pamlico Sound and produce the threat of minor
flooding with water rises of 2 feet above normal over downeast
Carteret County.
The strong winds will produce large waves over the ocean with
breakers of 8 feet or greater expected today from Cape Lookout
north.
The onshore winds and building surf will create a high threat of
rip currents along the beaches north of Bogue Inlet through
today.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing dangerous rip currents and
localized beach erosion.
A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
Rip currents are strong... narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip... then swim at an angle in to shore. Do not try
to swim back to shore directly against the rip... since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
